George Flash won easily at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in December but, like Jimble Moon, it will be a surprise if he is able to upstage the Nicolle quartet. A winning miler on the Flat, BORN TO HOLD has taken to hurdles like a duck to water and is on a hat-trick. He was particularly impressive when landing the odds at Toulouse last time and can get the better of Je Deviens Moi, who is also chasing a three-timer but hasn’t raced since November. Terra Ricca is preferred to Normandy Dela Vega of the others.
